Maduro's Life Has Changed a Bit This Week

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Goez. We have a new poll from Reuters that
says only about a third of Americans approve of the
military operation that removed President Nicholas Maduro from Venezuela. All right,
red flag number one. Nicholas Maduro is no more the
president of Venezuela than your mom was, or is he?

(00:23):
At one point, I guess was the duly elected leader
of Venezuela. But even that is a big question because
he was Hugo Chavez's buddy, and Chavez was the dictator
of Venezuela. And Chavez is like, all right, I'm done, Hey,
Nick Europe. And then here comes Maduro and they had
a quote unquote election, Hey, what do you know, Hugo

(00:46):
Chavez handpicked successor, Nicholas Maduro wins election. Wow, what are
the odds? And so then he's been running the place
and they had more elections, and every nation except Venezuela
looked at those elects and said he didn't win. But
who kept being the leader of Venezuela Nicholas Maduro. So

(01:08):
when the poll is saying do you approve of the
military operation that removed the president of Venezuela, who's the
president of Venezuela, not this guy. We didn't remove the
duly elected leader of Venezuela. We removed a dictator that
many of the same nations that gathered yesterday in the

(01:31):
Emergency Meeting of the United Nations, they wanted to denounce
what America did that was led by Russia and China.
Venezuela was cozy with Russia and China and their subsidiaries
like Iran and Cuba. So that's that's who was upset

(01:51):
about this. Wow, we just did something that upset Russia
and China. How bad a thing could that be? I
don't know exactly how they approve how they went about
asking this question, but what they found was about sixty
five percent of Republicans support bringing Maduro into custody, compared

(02:12):
to just eleven percent of Democrats and twenty three percent
of independence I think that whole poll is bull. That
rhymes you're trying to tell me you can find anyone
in this country who's still politically independent, and you're trying

(02:33):
to tell me that you can find eleven percent of
people who identify as Democrats who say, oh, I think
this was a good thing. I'm wondering how Venezuelan or
Latin American are those particular Democrats, because it seems like
the Latin America world's pretty pleased about this. Who's upset? Russia, China,

(02:56):
Iran gang members, drug traffickers, and gun runners, they're all
very very upset. Oh and Democrats, what a crowd, very
upset what we just did. So they bring this guy
Maduro up to New York yesterday and brought him before
a judge. Now put yourself in the shoes of Nicholas

(03:20):
Maduro whether he was the legitimate leader of Venezuela or not,
and the case is he was not. He still ran
the place. He was the gang leader of that crime
infested nation, which deserves so much better. And the good

(03:41):
people of Venezuela deserve so much better. And I should know.
I've never been there, but I believe that they deserve
so much better. This guy was running the place. This
was the kind of guy who if he wanted a
diet coke, he just hold out his hand and someone
put a Diet coke in his hand. That's the kind
of power he had. And now he's in front of

(04:02):
a judge who is ninety two years old, who will
be the man to decide largely the future of Nicholas
Maduro and his wife. You've got a ninety two year
old American named alvin Us District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan,

(04:30):
ninety two, God bless him. That is awesome, ninety two,
still working only in America. Could you have a judge
literally decomposing on the district court? Bet but whatever, he's
probably fantastic as job. I don't know much about the guy.
I know he presided over that so called hush money

(04:50):
trial in New York. But he's ninety two years old.
And Maduro is looking at this old man and thinking,
you know, a few days ago, I didn't answer to anybody.

(05:11):
I could do whatever I wanted, President Maduro. That person
talked some smack about your mom on social media. Killed
them already done, sir. I love being a dictator. That
was his life on Friday. And now he's in New York.

(05:34):
He's got a new jacket and a cool pair of sunglasses,
and he was and handcuffs and he's got his own room.
Some people pay pretty good money to have the cuffs
slapped on him and blindfolded and get smacked around a
little bit. That was my life on Friday. What what?
So he he's in there. His life on Friday was

(05:58):
he could do whatever he wants to whoever he wanted,
however he wanted. And now he can't do any of
those things. So he was very defiant. He told the judge,
I was kidnapped. I don't know if you see the news,
but I got kidnapped. I am the president of Venezuela.

(06:22):
He said, I'm a decent man. I'm a good man.
Come on, judge, I'm a good man. He said, I
was kidnapped. He said, what is your plea? I am innocent,
I am not guilty. I am a decent man. I
am still the president of my country. Like, okay, we

(06:43):
had you at innocent, not guilty. Got it. Then his
wife starts in, I am the first lady of the
Republic of Venezuela. All right, what's your plea? Not guilty,
completely innocent. Look, if you guys are going to repeat
in a slightly different way everything, every single thing you say.
This trial is gonna take forever. It is gonna take forever.

(07:07):
And now he's gonna meet with his attorney. Who's this guy?
He Well, turns out he's the guy who represented Julian Assange.
How'd that work out for Assange? Where's he? Not only
has he not really seen any freedom, but uh, Pamela
Anderson left him for Liam Neeson by the way, I
saw naked gun over the weekend one. Yeah, a worthy effort,

(07:33):
A worthy effort.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
And this is the same attorney that Yeah, was you okay?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, this is Julian Assange's attorney. Hey, where's that guy
who got a person who can't really show his face
anywhere in the world? I want, I want his attorney. Well,
he's not in jail though, No, he's not in jail.
I guess, so they get get me Barry. So now
the former dictator of Venezuela, we'll have his his freedom

(08:05):
decided by a ninety two year old judge and his
attorney named Barry.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Is that an arrested development?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's it could be all right? Are you talking about
the TV show Arrested Development?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Was that Henry Winkler.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Our friend, Henry Winkler's Henry Harry very Barry Peppercorn? Was that? Yeah?
It was well, because he was in the Henry Winkler
was in the TV show Barry with Bill Hayter, which
is amazing, so so good, and right up there with
the Arrested Development where Henry Winkler played the family attorney

(08:47):
Barry Peppercorn. That's right, had Barry Barry Peppercorn and Jean
Parmer Jean Martin Mole. I love that show, all right.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
What was the character's name that the chachi.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Scott bo got Bayo.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
What was the name of his character?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
He was Bob blah blah, bob blah blah, bob blah
blah lah Law, bob blah blah bob blah blah Law.
Such a stupid show. And as far as I'm concerned,
there will not be anything funnier than than Will Arnett

(09:32):
dancing around with a blade in his teeth setting up
a magic trick. I love Arrested Development, so so good. Anyway,
I don't know. It's not Barry Peppercorn, It's Barry J. Pollock.
I'm here, Nick, I'm your guy. We're gonna I'll tell
you what after this is over. Trump's gonna be your uh,

(09:52):
your your assistant. He'll be your maid in Venezuela. You
need anything done in Caracas, you just snap your fingers
and go down. Hey, I need a diet coke. He
might drink a lot of diet cokes. Trump's gonna have
to like give him his half consumed diet coke. So
now this guy who was the dictator of Venezuela, now

(10:16):
he's got nothing now except his arrogance and whatever passes
for pride. Leaving the courtroom saying, I am a prisoner
of war where he is drawing the compassion of Russia, China,
gang members, human trafficking and drug trafficking, thugs and democrats.

(10:44):
What a crowd. And then to make things even worse,
he said, also, I'm committing to play quarterback for Nebraska,
and then like two hours later said you know why
I changed my mind. I'll play for Kentucky and this guy.
Does it get any worse than this, Let's go to
the Zonker's custom woulds inbox Scott ask, are you gonna

(11:08):
be okay?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah? Continue?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Thank you Scott atkfab dot com. Danny says, how is
it an act of war against Venezuela by removing a
guy that fifty countries didn't recognize as a president. Wasn't
he just a gangster that took control over the country
that didn't vote him? In Isn't this a good thing?
Are the people crying about this the same that want

(11:33):
to arrest net and Yahoo in Israel? Oh, I'm sure
he's a war criminal. Trump's a war criminal. Who's not
a war criminal? The war criminal Nicholas Maduro as designated
by several different nations, including two previous presidential administrations in
this country. Obama had said, Hey, if we arrest this guy,

(11:56):
here's like fifteen million dollars to the person who arrest him,
and Biden said we'll jack it up to twenty five
million dollars. Danny questions, does President Biden now owe President
Trump twenty five million dollars? Don't tell Trump? He'll come.
He'll come for it. You know, the big guy's got

(12:18):
the money too. President Biden's got the money. And if not, Hunter,
go get some.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I understand Tim Walls is stepping up thinking are saying
that he actually is the one who captured him.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, Tim, Governor Tim Walls is he says, I captured Maduro,
And if he needs a place to stay while he's
in America, we have lots of learning centers for his
learing centers for him and his kids, and we'll be fine.
He's from Somalia. Right, yes, Governor Wallace, he's from Somalia. Okay, great,

(12:55):
And now we've got the word that the first lady
may have hurt her rib as we brought her up here.
Celia Flores, that is a stand by your man, right there, Celia.
Do you think that your man, Nicholas Maduro is faithful
to you? The dictator of Venezuela with those women in

(13:19):
that country, don't stand by your man. Come on, Celia,
to time to turn on Nick. She didn't take his name,
by the way. I wonder if that was considered a
all right. I'll let them worry about their own problems. Meanwhile,
we not only had some people with the United Nations

(13:42):
getting upset at what Trump and America did by bringing
this fugitive to justice, they also let it be known
that America will not be taking Greenland either. The leader
of Denmark said that the threats, the pressure and talk

(14:06):
of annexation of Greenland have no place between friends. It's
the Prime Minister of Greenland who said that, and Denmark's
prime minister is kind of saying the same thing. So
this is not how you talk to people have shown responsibility,
stability and loyalty time and time again. Enough is enough,

(14:26):
No more pressure, no more innuendo, no more fantasies about annexation.
And Trump is like, I like her, She's fiery. Maybe
she can serve a place in the Trump golf course administration.
Maybe she can be a beer cart girl on the
Trump golf course. I'm gonna put in Greenland. Trump was

(14:47):
asked on Air Force one the other day about possible
action in Greenland. He says, yeah, we're looking at it,
and noted that the island is full of Chinese and
Russian ships and said Denmark can't handle security for that area.
What are they gonna do? Add another dog sled. That's
honestly what Trump said in response to all of this.

(15:12):
It's interesting that when people think that Trump is just
you know, some going off half cocked on this and
that and doing whatever he wants, you know, like some king.
He wants his face on money, and he's just had
kidnap the leader of this country and go after a
sovereign nation and just suddenly annexed Greenland. He can't do
that if you look at the pressure he's putting on

(15:35):
these countries, the pressure he's putting on certain countries, and
the pressure like with tariffs that he's letting off of others.
It's all designed to squeeze Russia and China. As I
noted in the last segment, Venezuela is buddies with Russia
and China. And as he was asked about Greenland, and

(15:56):
he said, the island is full of Chinese and Russian ships.
So China and Russia have a presence there, they have
a military, they have a strategic presence there. And in
terms of the rare earth minerals and oil and whatever
else that they're mining or pumping out of that country,

(16:16):
they're doing it and America is not. America wants in
on that action, or at least let's get China and
Russia out. He's squeezing these adversaries to our country. And
so people say, like, well, how does taking the leader
of Venezuela into custody, How does kidnapping the president of

(16:38):
Venezuela make America great again? Because it robs China and
Russia and Iran of a key ally that is much
much closer in proximity to our country than their countries are.
I mean, despite the fact that you can see, you know,
Sarah Palin's house from Vladimir Putin's house. Outside of that,

(17:02):
Venezuela's right down the road. Both Chris and Mitch are
emailing to ask why would Trump have this trial in
New York? Isn't this a liberal city? Aren't they gonna
basically give Maduro a slap on the wrist, if anything,
and send him back out into the wild. And if
they did, would he go back to Venezuela or would

(17:26):
he just hang out in Manhattan? Hey, isn't that Nicholas Maduro?
Hey man? Can we get a selfie?

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well? I think he might be pretty pretty well received
in New.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
York based on well by half of the protesters. The
other half want to see him jailed or worse. So
both Mitch and Chris are saying, why would you choose
New York as the venue? Why a blue state? Why
a blue city? Chris says, seems to me a liberal
judge up there and juries would probably acquit this comy.

(17:59):
I from a legal standpoint, I don't know why it
would be New York and not Florida. From a Trump
and how he looks at things standpoint, I think this
is very similar to what we saw here in Omaha.
This past summer, we had a mayoral election and you

(18:24):
had one candidate who said Trump doesn't scare me and
we're not going to cooperate with ice and kind of
had that tone. He won. Johnny Wing becomes the mayor
of Omaha. On his first day in office. What happened.

(18:45):
Ice stormed the bastile, and that happened to be making
delicious cheese steaks, and they took a bunch of people
into custody. There was an ice operation in Omaha on
the first day that Johnny was mayor of Omaha. If
it wasn't the first day, it was like the second
day he was right after he was sworn in, and

(19:07):
we wondered, is President Trump really so petty? He's like, hey,
let me know when that guy who told me he's
not afraid of me and that we're not gonna have
ice terrorizing their community, let me know what his first
day is. Sure we can find some operation to do
in his town on his first day in office. I

(19:30):
would not put it past President Trump that he is
that petty. You don't think he's that petty. So why
New York? Why have this circus of protesters in New
York who just got sworn in, who's less than one
week into his job in New York City. The new

(19:53):
mayor of New York, Zoran mom Donnie Babylon Bee, had
a headlines A disappointed it learns that Mom Donnie and
Maduro are not the same guy. It's very disappointed. So
why do this in New York? Is President Trump really
so petty? It's just to create a little headache for

(20:16):
New York City, Like, hey, you like commy so much,
here's one and his wife. Here you go, We'll put
him in New York City. I think he is that petty.
Now we have this story out of not Venezuela, but Peru,
another South American nation. They just decided to give legal

(20:42):
status protection in Peru to bees. Bees have they are legal,
They have status to live and love and thrive. What

(21:03):
about the killer bees and sting and not the killer
bees specifically racist?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's no.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
They said they've got a and I said, my son's
not gonna like this story. He and I have both
been swarmed by yellow jackets. So any of these stinging,
any of the stinging insects, he is not a fan.
I don't blame him. I mean that happened to me
as an adult, and then years later it happened to
him as a little kid. So yeah, he might get

(21:30):
a little bit tensed up if suddenly there are a
bunch of stinging insects around. So he's not going to
probably go to Peru's Amazon, because if he gets swarm
down there, it's suddenly the legal system is like, well,
what did you do to them? Did they hurt themselves
while they were stinging you?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Do you think the only thing you have to worry
about is bees if you go to the Peruvian Amazon, Daria.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I saw a documentary when I was a kid, he too,
that'll stick with me about us.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, And uh was in dart farks?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
What now?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Frogs poisoned dart.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
They shoot poisoned darts while they pass gas. Is that
what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't think I actually said that whole word, Like
I said.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Farks, like I said, uh, frogs. We're trying to assimilate
to the start of the work week here after the holidays.
It's always a little bit of a difficulty. They specifically,
they've got these bees in Peru's Amazon that are stingless bees.

(22:39):
This sounds like something you'd see advertising a late night infomercial.
Do you have a problem with bees? Ow ah swan, Well,
they try new stingless bees. Stingless bees. What are they?
They're like bees, except less, stingy, stingless bees, some sort
of genetically modified creature that I won't sting you, but

(23:01):
it will devastate the environment, destroy the ecosystem, and give
your grandma the clap. I mean, you don't want stingless bees,
but they don't.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Sting you, so I prefer sting free.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
They're sting free.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I want to tell my son that I want to
throw him in a just this nest of bees, and
as he's freaking out, go, don't worry, son. They're stingless
bees like they're biting me. Oh I didn't know about that. Yeah,
stingless bees. They're pollinators and they say that they're considered

(23:38):
spiritual by some tribes.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Wait a minute, are these bees they created through DNA splicing?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I don't know. I don't see that in this story.
I'm sure I speculated it a moment ago. Now, it's
the phrase cultivated comes up. Cultivated by indigenous communities long
before pale Face showed up there and ruined everything. They

(24:07):
were cultivating stingless bees. Hmm, that sounds like a fun activity.
Here's your job in the tribe. We got our warriors,
our hunters, and our gatherers. You you got a very
special job. We're gonna need you to pull the stingers
off of bees and force them to mate. Okay. It

(24:29):
was a very important job within the tribe, so cultivated
by indigenous communities. So it doesn't sound like it was
Jeane splicing. It sounds like a guy named Jean, which
is I think a pretty common name with a lot
of like you know, incin tribes and stuff. Who was
just pulling the stingers off of bees?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Do you see Bill Gates' name on there anywhere?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Like the weird kids that pull the wings off of flies.
Let's see Bill Gates. Yes, Bill Gates also was doing
all that. No, I don't see Bill Gates naming anything.
So the way it works now is the native stingless
bees of the Amazon Rainforest of Peru have rights to

(25:13):
exist and thrive and clean stable habitats, and they can.
That means they can be represented in court by bob
blah blah blah blah blah attorney at law. When their
rights are threatened, they can be your honor. Only half
of my clients, judge is swatting it. There's bees all

(25:33):
over the courtroom.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Control your clients, you're in contempt.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
You're going to hold you all in contempt. Sitting swarm
by bees.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
You imagine putting them in jail.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
These to us, we don't have bars narrow enough to
hold all these bees. They can be represented in court.
And if it's not someone dressed up like the bees
from Saturday Night Live, we're missing a tremendous opportunity at humor.
It's that bee from The Simpsons, the guy dresses a bee. Yeah,

(26:09):
it's the Killer Bees, the the old wrestling tag team.
I'm running out of human bee reference. Any bee. Arthur
is representing these bees and court two be and you
laugh at this, but try If you get a nest
of bees in your yard and you call, you could yeah,

(26:32):
I burned the house down and I move, and you
could be found guilty of destroying bees. They are protected
if you have bees in your yard. Depending on what
kind of bee it is, you call out an exterminator,
he'll come out and go, oh, those are those are
the fancy fancy bumble bee bees, And we can't touch

(26:54):
them nothing we can do.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I'm very careful with bumble bees and honey bees in
my yard. They do not get bothered. They do not
get swatted, they do not get smack smashed. Well, I
mean they might.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
They too much nectar.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Right, they hit the nectar a little too hard.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
But the killer, the cicada killers. I know that they
will not bother me. But but I don't want them
around me.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I try to be brave tennis rackets to them.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, I try to be so brave. I just walked by.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
I don't think you can. I mean, even ah, what's
next to me. Even a shotgun's not gonna take out
those things. Those things are huge.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
But they won't bother you.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's what they say. I'd rather not find out. But
you're right, I'm I'm fine. Don't you wish that you
could just have a conversation with nature, especially insects. Like
you're sitting there having a picnic with your family, You're
having their picnic with your family, and they're just one fly.
It's like, I'm gonna land on your nose, I'm gonna
land on your face, I'm gonna land on your food.

(27:53):
And now I'm gonna land on your face. And now
I'm on your head, And now I'm on your wife's head,
and she's got enough hair that she doesn't know should
you swat it off or should you be like, well,
it's not on my cheeseburger. Maybe it's okay being on
her head. Wouldn't it be nice to have a conversation
with the fly going all right, look, I'm gonna take
a little bit of this food. I'm gonna put it
way over here. This is yours. This thing is like

(28:15):
twice your size. I don't need it. It's all yours.
Leave my food alone. Stay out of the baked beans,
and this is your food over here. And they'd probably
be like score, dude, yeah, and it would be great.
Don't and you're like you suddenly, as was the case
when I completely ripped open a nest of yellow jackets.

(28:38):
Wouldn't it be cool if you could be like wholl wha, whoa, Hey,
So I swear I didn't know you were in there. Look,
I'm putting it back together. I didn't know that this
giant straw, you know, bail in this uh, this storage
being in my backyard. Didn't realize you guys had built
an entire apartment complex. I'm putting it back together. What
else do you guys need? Let's go all call them

(29:00):
down and talk about this, like reasonable creatures. You guys
need a sacrifice. I'll find a squirrel, I mean, just
and they'd be like, all right, hey, but we're telling
you don't let this happen again.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
But you bring up an interesting question that when yellowjackets
attack in the in the suburbs like that, when they're
in your yard, what does one do. Even if you're
out in the country and that happens, chances are you've
got you've either got a lot of running place that
you can run.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
That's what happened to my son. We were out in
the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Which isn't going to protect you per se. But in
the suburbs you just outright run into the house and
now they're inside with you.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Some of them are yeah, well in that case, we
ran around to the front yard and we're like stripping
off our clothes. Could happened to me and my wife?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You set that up, didn't you?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
No? He said, come Onney, my wife who's deathly allergic,
who's deathly allergic to yellow jackets. No, I had so actually,
when when that happened to us, I ran to one
side of the backyard. She ran around to the front
because I still didn't know what was biting and stinging me,

(30:21):
And so because they followed me, I was the one
that disrupted their hive. My wife was largely spared. She
got a few. And so now we're running around to
the front yard and we're just pulling off our clothes
in the driveway, and the neighbors are like, I like
the new couple across the street. They're fun cussing and
screaming and swatting things off of each other. Then we

(30:43):
finally get in the house and I'm in the bathroom
as I'm assessing the damage, and we just hear this
little it knocked, no come in. We look up at
the window and one of those little sons of is
beating its head against the window trying to break through

(31:05):
the glass to get in. Like, let me at him.
Let me I'm not done with that guy, Let me
at him. I wow. I hate yellow jackets. I just
hate them.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Well God does too.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
They're not stingless, they are straight from hell. They are
I don't like them. Would not recommend being sworn by
yellow jackets. They can bite and sting you at the
same time, and they can't stop biting and stinging. No,
it's not like bees. It's not like bees that sting
you once and then at least you get the satisfaction
and like, well, are that thing's gonna die now? And
